I am planning a garden G guage layout in my backyard in conjunction with my pond. I live up Ontario Canada so we can snow and the fros line is 8" aprox. How should I prepare my roadbed for minimal frost shifting? What type of track should I investin for minimal maintanece with track powered equipment? I have heard about nickel silver? It cost more than brass. Will brass require a lot of cleaning? I was planning on pouring a 4-5" cement renforced roadbed with balast secured tot he wet cement and then siliconing the track to the balast to allow for frost shifting if there is any. Is this the best way or is there a better method of laying my trackwork to maximize electrical continuity and minimize the maintenace and cleaning. <br />Let me know or email me ddankwardt@sympatico.ca
